UPDATE: Race to the Top-District Application Deadline Extended

Update:

For districts in states affected by Hurricane Sandy and for which the President has issued a major disaster declaration or an emergency declaration, the new Race to the Top-District deadline is 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has a list of states for which the President has issued a major disaster declaration or an emergency declaration based on the effects of Hurricane Sandy. See http://www.fema.gov/disasters/.

For all other districts, the new deadline is 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, Nov. 2, 2012.

Due to unforeseen weather conditions that may prevent many applicants from submitting their Race to the TopDistrict applications by Oct. 30, 2012, the Department of Education is extending the application deadline for Race to the TopDistrict competition.
